You guys who have &quot;correct&quot; editions have me sold I need a new ed. This one&#39;s battered anyways...And I want to check out Bobby&#39;s art from close range at that.<br /><br />I think when I&#39;ve read this book in its Lynx version the overall building tidal wave of footnote madness had me checking p.88, seeing nothing there, and saying to myself, &quot;It&#39;s all a part of the footnote-mindfuck, probably!&quot; Yes, learn more about secret societies...but oh, even THAT must be hidden? (RAW hypnotizes me.)<br /><br />Note the footnotes in the middle of pages, too, like on p.89 of the Lynx ed, about taking caution when in Irish pubs when certain songs break out. Etc. <br /><br />I didn&#39;t realize until I read Anthony Grafton&#39;s very scholarly The Footnote: A Curious History that by the late 18th/early 19th c. there were books that had MORE footnotes than &quot;main text.&quot; Which, I find hilarious. As far as this ludic presentation of footnotes in TWS, I have noted very few works comparable, mostly related to Irish writers, and then guys like David Foster Wallace, in all of his work, but NB: Infinite Jest...michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526042582094867513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-88937160792152520252011-01-27T11:37:34.247-08:002011-01-27T11:37:34.247-08:00My version printed by ROC Fantasy has that page 88...My version printed by ROC Fantasy has that page 88 footnote correctly and the rest seemed to be good as well.dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726767615806730622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-14565141400741467472011-01-27T07:50:57.681-08:002011-01-27T07:50:57.681-08:00I noticed no problems when I read through the New ...I noticed no problems when I read through the New Falcon edition, so I highly recommend that one. Bad editing on the footnotes robs the book quite substantially, in my opinion, that it&#39;s worth whatever effort to get an appropriately formatted one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-41035160534682576912011-01-27T05:34:44.864-08:002011-01-27T05:34:44.864-08:00I&#39;ve just checked my New Falcon edition and th...I&#39;ve just checked my New Falcon edition and that footnote in particular looks formatted correctly, so I would imagine they have done a thorough job.fuzzbuddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17106070724735052653noreply@blogger.com
